I'm super into the new D&D Original Character I created recently. Her name is Smooth Plume and she's a tabaxi. She's part of my partner's world, Eia. They're building the entire world up from nothing and it'll probably be like another year before I get to play with Plume, but I'm so excited regardless.

Plume has quite the tragic backstory. She has a terminal disease, and the point of the campaign is to find this mythical creature and be granted a wish. She wants to cure herself of the awful disease we created (partially based on what I have myself, ngl. This is idea is partially wish fullfillment because I can never be free of mine). Her mother and father both had the disease as well, but her father abandoned them both when her mother's disease reached the late stages, the bastard. Her mother died a few months before the campaign will start, so she's still mourning her loss, and all the more desperate to fight for the right to get this one, singular wish.

I don't have art for Plume yet, but that will come with time. My partner will eventually draw her (and everyone else in the campaign), and then I'll commission art of her as well with the reference image. I'll also add it to my D&D Journal that I'm going to be working on. I'm ecstatic about the journal, though. It's going to be a lot of fun! I found the perfect journal for Plume here and I bought some neat stylized paper to cut up and add to the journal. I also have stickers (including one of a 3D pressed flower that was a gift from her mother) and washi tape. ♥

This month we finish up the Homestuck homebrew campaign that we're playing. We're at the very end, so we just have to finish up, and it probably won't be that long of a session. My partner is going to make us personalized charms of our characters and probably make a few more animatics from the Campaign as they start working on Eia. I'm really excited. I want to make an Ita Bag of two of our characters -- Miho and Heli. ♥ They weren't literally made for each other -- in fact, I made Miho as part of the Persona series -- but they turned out perfect for each other. It's fate.

We're also watching D&D Campaigns from Drop Out (my partner has an account). They're hilarious, and inspire me to want to take more of a risk while I'm playing. I'm still very new to D&D, so I'm still figuring out how LARPing works. I might try practicing inflection and tone, because it'd be cool if my characters had their own specific voices. I also want to learn how to just emote better so it'll be more entertaining as I roleplay them.

That's probably enough rambling for now. I'll have more to tell in the future!

I feel you SO much on accents and voices! I have an RP accent (like a British newsreader, lol), but also find it incredibly hard to do any accent other than my own. I have tried to add specific novelties to each character--I played a character for a one-shot who only referred to herself in the third person--but it's so hard to actually LARP, especially when you're in the middle of also trying to wrangle plot or fight or something.

Plume sounds like a lovely character, though, and you have a lot of time to develop her! Please share pics when you get around to making her journal; a D&D character journal is *such* a cool idea!
